Australia again! With the stunning hairstyle, sparkling eyes, beautiful smile, and polished facial, Sabrina is the delegate for Miss Photogenic. Now it is PB's Miss World 2006. She is... Miss Venezuela World, Alexandra Federica Guzman! Likely, Venezuela will produce their 6th Miss World. The final predictions will be posted tomorrow. Here is some news on the delegates: Miss World Charity Auction: Courtesy of www.missworld.com: Contestants wait for the items which they have brought to be auctioned © MWO Set in the majestic Hyatt Hotel in Warsaw the Miss World Charity Auction complete with the glitzy glamour of Poland’s high society and the contestants from the 2006 Miss World Contest were set for some serious fund raising. The atmosphere buzzed with excitement as the items the girls had brought with them thousands of miles from their home country were proudly presented on stage as bidders battled it out for the highly sought after crafts. Highlights included Thailand’s crystal glass dragon boat, India’s gold necklace made with semi precious stones, Canada’s red sheep skin jacket, Philippines’ mother of pearl jewellery box, Lebanon’s Bonja watch and traditional cutlery set and Trinidad and Tobago’s cricket Turkey © MWO bat signed by cricketing legend Brian Lara. The big earners were Jamaica with her handcrafted cigars in a beautiful case, Venezuala with her marbled mint coloured necklace and Indonesia’s incredible wood carving. Jamaica said ‘the box was made by a local artist from seven different types of wood including our national tree the Blue Mahoe and the cigars were hand rolled by a Cuban that is now a resident on the island from local tobacco. A huge amount of effort was put in and I am very pleased they went for such a high price.’   Indonesia’s goddess made from a single piece of Thailand © MWO Kepelan wood was a sensation with a flurry of bids that ended up being one of the biggest earners of the night.  Indonesia said ‘It is very heavy and very big and it took a lot of effort to bring it to Poland.  It feels good to raise money for charity and I feel like I have done my bit’ Miss World 2005 was warmly welcomed on stage to assist in the announcement of the grand total, which was in excess of 63,000 zloty. The reigning Miss World thanked the contestants for their efforts and the people of Warsaw ‘This evening is very important and very special to me, and the contestants, it means the world that this money we have raised today will help children that really need and deserve it most.’ Preliminary interviews determining the 6 semifinalists: Yesterday and today in Poland, the delegates talked with the judges and had their interviews.

Venezuela © MWO Canada © MWO Panama © MWO Mexico © MWO Hot/ Big favorites: Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, *Canada, Ecuador, Mexico, Panama, and *Venezuela. Delegates that have potential to place, not surprises nor hot doors: Chile, Colombia, Peru, and Uruguay. Delegates that are surprises, barely noticed: Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, and United States. Longshots/ Cold doors: Guyana. *=Canada won the Miss World Sports title on 9/12/06. Venezuela won the Miss World Beach Beauty title on 9/7/06. Both automatically make the top 16. Comments: 17 beauties and 4 will advance. Two big favorites, Canada and Venezuela are known for their winnings and both will fight for the Miss World Americas title. Likely Miss Venezuela, Federica Guzman having the figure and poise will make the top 3. Miss Canada, Malgosia Majewska also has a chance. For the other 2 spots, Panama and Mexico will likely fill in. Panama's Giselle Bissot has a pair of striking eyes, Mexico following with her Mexican fans. Brazil's Jane Oliveira is elegant in gown and well polished. Chile and Peru have lots of potential to place. Only Miss Guyana, Dessia Braithwaite is in the longshot section. Her smile lacks happiness and her hairstyle is not good. Other than that, all the delegates have equal footing. With only 1 week less in the competition, things will get even hotter. Miss African delegates next. Angola © MWO Nigeria © MWO South Africa © MWO Ghana © MWO Hot/ Big favorites: Angola, Ethiopia, Ghana, Namibia, Nigeria, and South Africa. Delegates that have potential to place, not surprises nor hot doors: Botswana, Congo Democratic Republique, Tanzania, and Zambia. Delegates that are surprises, barely noticed: Kenya, Liberia, and Zimbabwe. Longshots/ Cold doors: Mauritius. Comments: 14 delegates and only 1 longshot. There are lots of favorites and beauties in this group. Angola's Stiviandra Oliverira was suppose to be the representive at Miss Universe 2006 but didn't compete due to the age requirements. Now in Miss World, she is a frontrunner to win the Miss World title. A beautiful smile and young figure, she should have no problem making the top 6. Nigeria and South Africa are stunning, poised, and elegant in their own ways. Both are possibilites to make the top 16. Tanzania looks really like her presuccessor, Nancy Sumari who was last year's Miss World Africa. Namibia has a spooky figure and with her dark figure, she is another delegate to shock the world. In the longshots section, Miss Mauritius is the delegate. Vanesha's smile is quite uncomfortable. Her hairstyle is also normal. The special thing about her though, is the white skin. Now that Miss World has only less than 7 days of competition, things will get even tenser. The last group, The Caribbean will come next. Awards will be given out shortly.   Martinique © MWO Puerto Rico © MWO Barbados © MWO Dominican Republic © MWO Hot/ Big favorites: Here is the last group, Caribbean! Okay, the standouts, Martinique's Stephanie Colosse has a beautiful light brown tan skin color and glowing eyes. Looks quite like Miss Earth Air 2004. A top 6 Miss World contender. Puerto Rico's Thebyam Alvarez has beautiful eyebrowns and smile. Looks like Miss Universe 2005 1st runner up, Cynthia Olavarria. Puerto Rico supports all pageant queens by voting. Thebyam should be there. Next in the group is Miss Barbados, Latoya McDowald. After making the Miss World Beach Beauty top 10, she was named a favorite by pageant experts. With her natural smile, she will not be a surprise if replacing Puerto Rico. Trinidad and Tobago usually makes the semifinal like 2003 and 2004. Miss World is very unpredictable, and if Teneke makes it (like Miss Jamaica last year), it will be no surprise. Miss Curacao and St. Lucia are the longshots in this group due to their hair, smile, and figure. Okay now that we revealed and reviewed all the groups, awards will be given out. They include: Pageant Beauties's Miss Photogenic, Best In Evening Gown, Best In Swimsuit, and Miss World 2006. 9/24/06: Lebanon © MWO Italy © MWO Israel © MWO Spain © MWO Hot/ Big favorites: Bosnia and Herzegovina, *Croatia, Cyprus, Italy, Lebanon, Macedonia FYRO, Moldova, Romania, Serbia, Slovenia, and Turkey.

Comments: In this group of beauties, Miss Lebanon, Annabella Hilal is the favorite to place. With a beautiful gown, hair, and eyes, she is a Miss World Southern Europe contender. Italy is a young sun shine girl. Cute eyes amd good hair. Moldova some how has sends great delegates in these 2 years, as Alexandra has charming and blondy hair. Isreal and Spain are dubbed favorites in this group by Global Beauties. Serbia's Vedrana Grbovic is another beauty to watch out. Croatia bagged the Miss World Dress Designer, will she have a edge in evening gowns? Montengero's Ivana Knezevic is the first international delegate from Montengero at a international pageant. She lacks the facial beauty though. Considered as the long shots are Miss Georgia and Malta. Georgia doesn't have the figure and her eyes are too big. Her hairstyle is not good too. Malta looks a little bit older than 23. Maybe it's her hairstyle. She also has a unportional figure. Who will advance in this group? 23 delegates and only 2 will advance. The Americas group thoughts will be up later.             Czech Republic © MWO   Poland © MWO   Sweden © MWO Ukraine © MWO Hot/ Big favorites: Austria, Czech Republic, England, Estonia, Germany, Iceland, Latvia, Poland, Sweden, and Ukraine.

Placing as 2nd runner up at Miss Beach Beauty and top 20 at Miss World Dress Designer were her achievements. Miss Poland, Marzena Cieslik is another contender. Coming from the host country, she should have a lot of votes. Miss Sweden and Ukraine have beautiful and stylish beauty. Ukraine is a big possiblity to make it. Miss Estonia, Iceland, and Latvia are beautiful in their own ways, which are also strong alternates to place. Northern Ireland is already a semifinalist, by winning Miss World Talent. The longshots belong to Miss Belgium, Finland, and Wales. Belgium lacks the smile, Finland for her bad hairstyle and teeth, and Wales for her figure. We can except lots of surprises in this group. Which 2 will advance to the semifinal?

Beautiful eyes, hair, bright smile, she is a big surprise delegate to place. Sri Lanka is 2nd in this group, with China's Duo Liu and Janet Chow (Hong Kong) for 3rd and 4th. Duo has a very good figure and a model background which is a good advantage. Janet is one of the best English speakers, which might help her during Vote For Me (remember Northern Ireland last year). The longshots are Cambodia and Indonesia, though Indonesia placed in the Sports competition. Anything can happen in Miss World, as it is the most unpredictable Big Four beauty pageant in the world.
